One of our most highly demanded products is flagstone. Whether for its natural beauty, its functionality, or its maintainability, those who want the ultimate experience for their patios, hardscapes, and outdoor structures often choose flagstone.

Flagstone is commonly a sandstone and comes from an array of areas throughout the world and is available in numerous colors and thicknesses (from rustic to swirled) at Apex Stone. We currently carry flagstone from Arizona, Colorado, Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Popular colors in the Southern region of the U.S. are red and buff, but colors can range from gray to chocolate. We offer several stone types specifically intended for patios, and have a solid reputation throughout the West Houston area with stone masons that specialize in the laying of stone patios.

Flagstone is Affordable

While the luxury of natural stone is often sought after, one common missconception is about the expense. When comparing the cost per square foot of outdoor flooring materials, flagstone is frequently the cheaper option.

Flagstone is Versatile

One of the major perks of using flagstone is flexibility in design. Because flagstone starts out in slabs that are typically larger than what a stone mason would use all at once, flagstone can be cut and split into a variety of shapes to be fit together in a truly one-of-a-kind pattern all your own, or a more structured pattern simulating indoor tile. The versatility of flagstone also gives you to be creative with the material - using it to decorate outdoor stone benches, fireplaces, and steps.

Many people find enjoyment in working on flagstone projects on their own. There are numerous how-to videos throughout the Internet, and with guidance it is absolutely possible to "do-it-yourself." We encourage you to talk to one of our experts about the process, sealant, and the technical facets of laying flagstone if you do not have a stone mason. We can also recommend excellent stone masons in the area!

Flagstone is Timeless

The idea of utilizing flagstone as flooring is no new concept. Humans were using flagstone as flooring materials in castles and other structures as early as the 14th century, and numerous examples of flagstone in structures have lasted throughout Europe - particularly in today's Great Britain. What may seem a "fun fact" is truly evidence of the quality and durability of flagstone when properly cared for.
